Abstract

Natural circulation is a form of passive safety in nuclear reactor. Natural circulation is important to prevent another accident like fukushima nuclear disaster that happen because the loss of power to the pump. An experiment on irregular pentagon natural circulation loop has done before using water as its coolant. In this study, the water coolant is replaced with molten salt to analyze its flow parameters. ANSYS Fluent which is a finite volume based computational fluid dynamics software is used to simulate the loop. First the loop heater and cooler temperature is varied to see the respons of the Reynolds number (Re), cold leg temperature (t1), and hot leg temperature (t3) for FLiBe, FLiNaK, and FNaB. For all molten salt, the Re is proportional to heater temperature when the cooler temperature is constant. For constant heater temperature condition, Re does not have a particular trends when the cooler temperature increase. t1 and t3 always increase when the heater or cooler temperature increase. FNaBe is added for second analysis that focuses on comparing Re, t1, and t3 for constant heater condition and constant cooler condition. It is observed that FNaB have the highest Re due to its low viscosity. A correlation on the trends of t1 and t3 to the velocity trends is also observed.

Both RDE-10 and PeLUIt-40 were fueled with 17wt% HALEU while the other two were fueled by 4.95wt% LEU, without thorium. The study was based on a set of data generated through Monte Carlo reactor physics simulation using OpenMC. The study found that NuScale SMR is the least 235U consumer by 0.84 g.MW-1 d-1 while the RDE-10 is the most 235U consumer by 0.97 g.MW-1 d-1. The simulation results show that TMSR-500 is the most uranium consumer by 1.41 g.MW-1 d-1 while the uprating of RDE-10 to PeLUIt-40 makes PeLUIt-40 as the least uranium consumer by 1.14 g.MW-1 d-1. As the least uranium consumer, both RDE-10 and PeLUIt-40 provide the highest attainable discharged fuel burnup of extractable energy of about 146 GWd/MTU. Assuming a one batch depletion scheme, NuScale SMR, RDE-10, PeLUIt-40 TMSR-500 has fuel consumption cycles in 2,210 days, 2140 days, 550 days, and 320 days, respectively.

Abstract

Incineration of transuranic (TRU) elements can be performed in various types of nuclear reactor. Thermal molten salt reactor (MSR) can be utilised for TRU incineration, typically by blending TRU elements with the carrier salt. This method has issues in low trifluoride solubility and lower TRU burnup than fast spectrum MSR. This study proposes an innovative method of TRU incineration in MSR as a heterogeneous configuration by inserting tubular TRU layer into MSR fuel channel. To obtain optimum configuration, TRU layers comprised of reactor grade plutonium (RGPu) and minor actinide (MA) were inserted in an MSR fuel channel in central, middle, and outer configurations. Neutronic analysis was performed in the MSR fuel channel using MCNP6.2 code, and decay analysis was done using ORIGEN2.1. The analysed parameters include infinite multiplication factor, temperature coefficient of reactivity (TCR), transmutation efficiency (TE), and post-irradiation decay activity. It was observed that TRU layer with a volume fraction of 5% in a narrow fuel channel and outer configuration exhibit the optimum TE and improved the TCR. After 1460 days of irradiation, the TE was found to be 30.98% and lower radioactivity than unirradiated TRU after 400 years of decay. This result is promising as an initial stage prior to whole core calculation.

Abstract

A radiographic test is one of the NDT methods used to verify the material (non-destructive testing). It utilizes ionizing radiation, such as X-rays or gamma rays, to create detailed images that reveal hidden flaws, defects, discontinuities, or anomalies. A radiographic test method commonly checks welding connections, fabrication, forging, and casting. Radiography NDT technique is used across diverse sectors, including manufacturing, aerospace, infrastructure, energy, and even research reactors or nuclear power plants (NPP). This study will discuss piping in a research reactor in South Tangerang, i.e., G.A. Siwabessy. Industrial digital radiography substitutes conventional film radiography and is replaced by imaging plate (IP). Parameters such as SNR and CNR and basic spatial resolution (SRb) must be considered and understood. Digital radiography is currently more widely used in addition to the short process and interpretation of results with up-to-date software developments. The linear indication is attached to the result of the interpretation. The linear indication^s orientation, size, and shape recommendations can provide valuable information to the nuclear energy research organization while replacing or substituting the piping. Image interpretation results were obtained to provide recommendations for improvements by standards and regulations. Other NDT methods are needed to compare the results.

The first stages carried out preparation of activated carbon form of sieving using a 70 mesh sieve and contacting the activated carbon with MES surfactant for 24 hours. The second stages was exposured activated carbon modified using various dose gamma irradiation, then drying. The third stages was found out optimum contact time. Optimum contact time varied on 15, 30, 45, and 60 minutes. And the last stages was identification optimum dose irradiation. The results showed that Methyl Ester Sulfonate (MES) surfactant and gamma irradiation modified activated carbon adsorbs Cu2+ wastewater effectively. The adsorption capacity was 1,037 mg/gr on 15 minutes- 0,7075 mg/gr on 30 minutes- 0,762 mg/gr on 45 minutes- and the lower was 0,4725 mg/gr on 60 minutes. Optimum contact time of surfactant and gamma irradiation modified activated carbon to adsorbed Cu2+ was 15 minutes. The adsorption capacity was 0,15 mg/gram on 0 kGy- 0,803 mg/gram on 10 kGy- 0,098 mg/gram on 30 kGy- and 0,01 mg/gram on 50 kGy. So, the optimum dose irradiation of surfactant and gamma irradiation modified activated carbon to adsorbed Cu2+ was 10 kGy. From the result, it can be concluded that optimum condition of Methyl Ester Sulfonate (MES) surfactant and gamma irradiation modified activated carbon to adsorbed Cu2+ was 15 minutes and 10 kGy dose gamma irradiation. Hopefully, in the future, the use of irradiated activated carbon is expected to make clean water management more effective and efficient.

Abstract

Biodiesel is an alternative fuel produced from renewable vegetable or animal sources. This fuel has the ability to replace or mix with conventional diesel, with the aim of reducing exhaust emissions that harm the environment. This study aims to analyze the level of influence of cobalt-60 gamma irradiation on the results of randemen in the manufacture of biodiesel based on cooking oil or Crude Palm Oil. Biodiesel is synthesized from cooking oil through two main processes. First, through esterification using methanol as a solvent in a mole ratio of 1:6, involving an acid catalyst at a concentration of 0.05% by weight of oil. Second, through transesterification with methanol in a mole ratio of 1: 6 with a base catalyst, with a catalyst concentration used of 1% by weight of oil. Characterization of biodiesel from synthesis was carried out using FTIR spectrophotometer analysis technique, which identified the presence of ether and methyl functional groups as characteristic. The results of the analysis showed the presence of C-O bonds at wavenumbers 1020/cm-1040/cm and C-H bonds at wavenumbers 2980.88 / cm. Furthermore, the test was conducted in accordance with the Indonesian national standard (SNI) 7182-2015. The test results showed the results of biodiesel randemen at irradiation doses of 35 Kgy has the largest volume of 108 mL with a density of 831 kg/m3, kinematic viscosity of 5,780 mm2 / s at 40 &#913-C, as well as the flame color reddish blue and slightly smoky, through gamma irradiation, biodiesel production can be increased in terms of production either with or without a mixture of other additional compounds that offer potential as an alternative fuel that is environmentally friendly and performs well.

Abstract

The utilization of the G.A. Siwabessy Multipurpose Reactor (RSG-GAS) includes the production of radioisotopes. Among the radioisotopes produced by RSG-GAS is Mo-99. The Mo-99 radioisotope is used in the production of Technetium-99m (99mTc), which is used in diagnostic imaging in the medical field. There are two ways to produce the Mo-99 radioisotope. First, with a fission scheme using Low Enriched Uranium (LEU) in the form of UO2. Second, with a non-fission scheme by irradiating MoO3 samples. The aim of this study is to analyze the production results of radioisotopes using the fission scheme compared to the non-fission scheme using the ORIGEN 2.1 program. In this study, an MoO3 sample weighing 8.753 grams is compared to UO2 weighing 8.753 grams with the composition: U-235 1.508 grams, U-238 6.206 grams, and O-16 1.039 grams. Then, variations in the irradiation position in the reactor were made, namely at the Central Irradiation Position (CIP) at locations E7 and D6, as well as the Irradiation Position (IP) at point G7 with reactor power of 5, 15, and 30 MWt. The calculation results show that at CIP-D6 with a power of 30 MWt, the production result of the non-fission scheme is 7.05 Ci. Meanwhile, the production result of the fission scheme under the same conditions is 797.10 Ci. This is due to the better ability of UO2 to capture neutrons needed in nuclear reactions, as well as having more uranium isotopes that easily undergo neutron fission. Therefore, for Mo-99 production, it is recommended to use the fission scheme.

Abstract

The Molten Salt Reactor (MSR) is a fourth-generation reactor whose technology has been proven by MSRE^s operations at ORNL. This reactor has a highly inherent safety system. Then, it has ability to extinguish multiple reactors and is carried out passively. Fuel salt in MSR can flow to drain tank by opening melt valve when temperature exceeds the limit. Understanding relocation of fuel salt is essential to improve reactor safety and performance. In this study, we present a particle-based approach using the Moving Particle Semi-Implicit (MPS) method, which represents fluid as particles that carry physical properties. We analysed the dynamics of several types of fuel salt at MSR. The fuel salt variations tested were LiF-NaF-KF, LiF-BeF2, KCl-MgCl2, and NaNO3-NaNO2-KNO3. In addition, temperature variations of 700K, 850K, and 950K were carried out on LiF-NaF-KF. The simulation uses the 2D geometry of MSRE reactor design. This simulation results show that NaNO3-NaNO2-KNO3 has movement with the greatest speed compared to other fuel salt. At 950K for LiF-NaF-KF has the greatest velocity compared to other variations. These results can be taken into account in selection of right saline fuel mixture and the understanding of its flow characteristics for safe and effective MSR operation, which is crucial for improving the safety of nuclear reactors.

Abstract

Betavoltaic nuclear batteries are one of the energy devices that have future use prospects. The operational efficiency of betavoltaic nuclear batteries is still quite small, which is caused by the geometrical design, or the semiconductor materials used. In this study, Monte Carlo simulation was used to determine the deposition energy of beta particles in semiconductor materials in betavoltaic nuclear battery systems. The performance of betavoltaic nuclear batteries was determined using the current-voltage characteristic curve on the semiconductor and beta particle parameters obtained from Monte Carlo simulations.

Abstract

In order to increase safety, nuclear component of the reactor have got good performance on normal operational conditions. One of nuclear component of the reactor is lining tank reactor. In this study, the aging component reactor of Aluminum alloy Al6061 as lining tank reactor Triga 2000 in demin water has been evaluation by using electrochemical methods. The electrochemical testing were performed in demin water with and without the addition NaCl as contaminant at ambient temperature. The electrochemical technique used in this study were open circuit potential (OCP), Tafel polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The results of open circuit potential tests showed that the corrosion potential (Ecorr) values of Al6061 T alloy are slightly different between in demin water with and without the addition NaCl. The corrosion potential Al6061 T alloy are higher in demin water without NaCl compare with NaCl addition. The are show that the interaction between demin water and the aluminum alloy have no significant effect on to its corrosion behavior. However, Tafel polarisation of aluminum alloy Al6061 T alloy in demin water with the absence of NaCl showed the lowest corrosion than aluminum alloy at condition in demin water with NaCl. Eis study shows that aluminum alloy Al6061 T alloy in demin water with the absence of NaCl showed the higher impedance than aluminum alloy in demin water with NaCl. The higher impedance indicated that the passive film of Al2O3 formed on the surface of aluminum alloy. In terms of corrosion rate values, aluminum alloy Al6061T showed the best corrosion resistance in demin water without NaCl compare Al 6061 T in demin water with NaCl.

Abstract

Improving scientific literacy among high school students in Indonesia remains a challenge, prompting initiatives to enhance this skill. This research aims to develop a nuclear radiation practicum module for high school students and analyze environmental radiation dose rates. The study involves comparing radiation measurements using various tools and evaluating the impact of environmental background conditions on these measurements. It utilizes Cs-137 (Cesium 137) sources at different distances and with different shielding materials. The ADDIE approach-Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation-guides the module development process.The study is limited to the development stage, focusing on creating models for the measurement process, mapping, and comparing tools and practicum materials. Radiation dose rate measurements were conducted at the Bandung Institute of Technology at 10 points with instrument heights of 0 cm and 100 cm from the ground, using GMC 500+ and Pocket Geiger tools. Results show that the GMC 500+ tool measured an average radiation dose rate of 0.1365 \pm 0.0160 \mu Sv/hour at 0 cm height and 0.1207\pm0.0163 \muSv/hour at 100 cm height. The Pocket Geiger tool recorded an average dose rate of 0.052\pm0.0154 \mu Sv/hour at 0 cm and 0.043\pm0.0176 \mu Sv/hour at 100 cm height. Measurements on different background surfaces (granite floors, paving blocks, soil, concrete, grass, and asphalt). Measurements using the Cs-137 source determine the effect of distance on the radiation source and shielding material, with distance variations from 0 cm to 100 cm and the use of shielding material stored between the source and the detectorThe final product is a validated nuclear radiation practicum module, which received positive feedback from material and media experts, peers, and high school physics teachers, indicating its readiness for implementation.

Abstract

A study on material theft analysis of fresh and spent fuels of Reaktor Daya Eksperimental (RDE) has been completed. This study covers an integrated analysis of nuclear safety, security, and safeguards. This study assumed that each pebble fuel contains about 7,223 tri-structural isotropic (TRISO) fuel kernel microspheres depleted up to 90 GWd/MTU. Both the TRISO and the graphite matrix of the fuel pebble was designed to contain fission products during and after irradiation. A set of Monte Carlo n-Particle (MCNP) neutronic simulations on the RDE^s fresh and spent fuel pebbles were completed to investigate the potential radiation exposure to the personnel, that can be a security barrier for RDE system. Taking only gamma ray into considerations, this study found that the fresh fuel pebble containing 5 g of UO2 enriched to 17 wt% of U-235 exposes radiation with a dose rate of only 0.38 microrem/h at a distance of 1 m away from the pebble. At the same distance, a 90 GWd/MTU spent fuel pebble cooled for one year resulted dose rate of about 1.0 rem/h. This study also found that a lead sphere shielding (density of 11.34 g/cm3) with a thickness of approx. 12.5 cm must cover the spent fuel pebble to reduce dose rate to 0.328 microrem/h.

Institut Teknologi Bandung


Abstract

The modified CANDLE (Constant Axial shape of Neutron flux, nuclide densities, and power shape During Life of Energy production) strategy shuffling in an axial direction has been successfully applied to gas cooled fast reactor. This paper investigated the utilization of natural uranium, enriched nitride and Thorium (238U 15N and 232Th) as fuel on 3000MWt reactor power and refuelling every 10 years of burnup cooled by helium gas. The reactor core is partitioned into ten equal-volume regions in the axial direction. Initially, a fuel input (238U 15N and 232Th) is placed in region 1. After ten years of burnup, a fuel in region 1 has been moved to region 2, then to region 3, and so on until the fuel in region 9 was moved to region 10. A fuel from region 10 has been got out. The neutronic computations were performed in two different ways utilizing the SRAC 2006 code and JENDL4.0 as a nuclear data library. Firstly, PIJ has been used for fuel cell calculations and secondly CITATION for reactor core calculation. The results show that the effective multiplication factor is greater than one, this indicates that the reactor is capable to operate through a burn-up period by employing 238U 15N and 232Th as fuel cycle input and the burnup level at the end life is about 30.29% HM.

Abstract

A scalable private LoRaWAN-based monitoring system has been developed for indoor and outdoor radiation monitoring around nuclear facility. The system consists of open hardware-based radiation detection devices, indoor and outdoor LoRaWAN gateways, an open-source LoRaWAN network server and database server for storing measurement data. In addition, a commercial air quality monitoring device has been integrated to the proposed system to ensure its scalability. The aims of the system are to evaluate and validate the feasibility of low-cost open hardware based radiation measurement devices, development of private LoRaWAN based infrastructure for the monitoring data pipeline, and provide testbed of wireless-based security for radiation detection system. The system has been deployed and tested to measure the coverage of LoRaWAN network, and performance measurement of real-time radiation and environmental data collection for indoor and outdoor measurement. The result demonstrates that the maximum coverage distance between gateway and end-device is ~600 m depend on terrain, and the continuous transmission of real-time measurement data i.e. radiation dose rate, environmental and air quality data can be done within a few seconds interval. In the future, security assessment of the proposed system need to be performed to ensure the integrity and reliability of the system when deployed as a measurement system for protecting environment and people from the risk of radiation exposure.

Abstract

The assessment of nuclear safety and the potential risks associated with proliferation is a critical area of research in the context of nuclear energy utilization. This study focuses on evaluating the Material Attractiveness (ATTR) in several light water-based reactor designs, specifically NuScale, ESBWR, BWRX-300, and PWR, both during reactor operation and post-operation. The analysis employed Origen 2.2 for modeling radioactive decay and MCNP4C for assessing material attractiveness. The findings reveal an increase in the production of plutonium isotopes, with the exception of Pu-239, which decreases as a result of the fission. Initially, the Pu-240 composition across all four reactors is classified as Super-grade plutonium. However, with increased burnup, the Pu-240 composition transitions to a reactor-grade plutonium level. At the initial of irradiation, the ATTR values were determined to be 0.19 for the ESBWR, 0.20 for the PWR, 0.16 for the BWRX-300, and 0.21 for NuScale, categorizing them within the weapon-grade range. By the end of reactor operation, these values had significantly decreased, with ESBWR at 0.0125, PWR at 0.0148, BWRX-300 at 0.0111, and NuScale at 0.0133, placing them in the un-usable grade category. This marked reduction in ATTR values, correlated with increased burnup, indicates an effective decrease from weapon-grade to un-usable grade by the end of the reactor^s operational period. This trend is primarily influenced by the increased production of isotopes Pu-238, Pu-240, Pu-242, and the corresponding decrease in Pu-239, the primary fissile material.

Abstract

The high average value of natural gamma radiation dose rate in Mamuju Regency indicates that the uniqueness is related to the high concentration of radioactive elements of Uranium, Thorium, and Potassium deposited in the rock. In this study, XRF tests were carried out with EDXRF equipment on 5 soil samples from Mamuju Regency. Measurements were made on powder and pellet specimens. The results showed that the average concentration of radioactive elements uranium (U) was 712.17 ppm and 3581.45 for Thorium (Th), while for K was 9127.75 ppm. The thorium element appears to be more dominant with the Th/U ratio reaching 3.99 which is higher than the average Th/U ratio in the Earth^s crust of 3.70. A positive correlation between U and Th was obtained with a correlation coefficient value of 0.60, and a positive correlation was also shown by the relationship between U and Th, indicating the enrichment of U along with the enrichment of Th. Analysis of XRF data and dose rate data shows that there are two locations that show a very close relationship between the dose rate and the concentration of radioactive elements in the sample, while in other samples the influence of land use into gardens or highway strips affects the measured dose rate.

Abstract

Some areas have unique radiation levels, caused by the high density of buildings or deposits of radioactive minerals. Mamuju district is the area with High Natural Background Radiation (HNBR) despite the low density of the population, while West Java possessing low-level radiation is the area with the largest population in Indonesia. Measurements of dose levels in these two areas were carried out for two weeks covering nine villages in Mamuju and nine districts in West Java. The method used is random sampling to collect data from one meter on the surface, while the tool used was the Ludlum model 19 series 8 Analog Survey meter. The results of radiation measurements were 2.208 mSv/year from 180 data in the Mamuju district and 0.3086 mSv/year in 103 data in West Java. The big difference between the two is due to the presence of radioactive element-carrying minerals in the Mamuju district, while in West Java areas there are lack of radioactive elements mineralization.

Abstract

The neutron spectrum in the reactor core has a shape with a combination of thermal, epithermal and fast neutrons. Neutron spectrum measurements in the reactor core generally use the multi-foil technique. However, measurements using this technique are quite difficult, expensive to manufacture, but provide less accurate results. The SCNS-reactor has been developed which is a single-moderator neutron spectrometer based on a passive neutron detector for measuring the neutron spectrum in the reactor core. Neutron spectrum measurements have been carried out on the surface of the TRIGA 2000 reactor core using a SCNS-reactor operated at 100 W for 30 minutes. The results of these neutron spectrum measurements were compared with simulations using MCNPX with ENDF7 nuclear data for neutron interactions with fuel and reactor core components, as well as S(&#945-,&#946-) for neutron interactions with the water moderator.

Research Centre for Archaeometry, National Research and Innovation Agency of Indonesia (BRIN)


Abstract

Indonesia boasts a rich tapestry of cultural heritage artifacts spanning from the prehistoric to the modern colonial and post-colonial eras, offering invaluable insights into ancient artistic techniques, materials, and historical periods. Our research group, in collaboration with fellow scholars, has embarked on pioneering efforts to unravel the material complexities of Indonesian cultural artifacts. Leveraging a diverse array of nuclear-based analytical tools such as X-ray fluorescence (XRF), synchrotron X-ray diffraction (SR-XRD), and X-ray absorption near-edge structure spectroscopy (XANES), alongside complementary laboratory techniques including Raman spectroscopy and microscopic observations using optical and scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), we have delved into the physicochemical properties of these artifacts. This integrated approach has yielded significant findings on optical characteristics, elemental compositions, mineralogical structures, electronic properties, microstructures, and elemental distributions at microscopic scales across artifact surfaces. Beyond material analysis, our research addresses the degradation processes affecting various cultural heritage items, from rock art and pottery to bones and other materials. Moving forward, our aim is to expand these investigations to comprehensively analyze deterioration mechanisms and devise effective preservation strategies for these irreplaceable cultural treasures. While our efforts have been fruitful, challenges remain, particularly concerning the limitations of portable analytical instruments that hinder on-site non-destructive analysis and micro-sampling. Future directions include the exploration of advanced imaging techniques such as hyperspectral imaging and reconstruction methodologies, which are pivotal for advancing our understanding and preservation efforts.

Abstract

This study examines the implementation of an affordable radiation monitoring system on a public minibus in Fukushima Prefecture. The purpose is to monitor and analyze the levels of radiation in the surrounding area. The study utilizes the Pocket Geiger (POKEGA) sensor, which is combined with a microcontroller and telecommunication system. This integration allows for the gathering and viewing of data in real-time. A monitoring system was implemented on a minibus route between Okuma and Tomioka, which were significantly impacted by the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident. The study utilized the Quantum Geographic Information System (QGIS) to calculate the average radiation dose rates over a 1 x 1 km grid. It found a notable decrease in radiation levels from 2022 to 2023. The ecological half-life, determined using land use classification by the Advanced Land Observation Satellite, demonstrated fast radiation decay across different types of land, highlighting the influence of environmental and decontamination parameters. This method not only improves the involvement of the community in monitoring radiation, but also offers information about the success of decontamination efforts and the changing levels of radiation in Fukushima Prefecture.

Abstract

The research conducted in Bangka, Indonesia examines the environmental and health consequences of Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials (NORM) and Technologically Enhanced Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials (TENORM) in the area where tin mining processing takes place. The study carried out in March 2023 specifically targets three main locations, which are Mentok, Pangkalpinang, and Sungaliat. Mentok faced enhanced surveillance as a result of its substantial tin mining operations. The quantitative results indicate that the level of ambient radiation exposure from industrial mining in Bangka is considerably greater than that from small-scale mining, with an average disparity of around 2.02 microsieverts per hour. The average annual exposure of workers in some areas was determined to be higher than the global average occupational exposure level of 5 millisievert per year, namely, in tailing. Public places, such as offices are recorded as low exposure. These findings suggest a risk of health hazards caused by radiation exposure, require rigorous safety measures and regulatory supervision for the concerned area. The study offers insights into the environmental radiation levels in the tin mining regions of Bangka, highlighting the necessity of implementing protective measures to ensure the safety of workers and the general public against potential radiation exposure.

Abstract

Neutron flux measurement for research reactor in-core is usually using the neutron activation method. The sample in this study used an Au-197 sample. The neutron flux can be obtained by calculating the saturation activity received by the irradiated sample. In the calculation of saturation activity, there are correction factors that can affect the results of the conversion of saturation activity into neutron flux. The calculation of correction factors is carried out analytically by entering variables such as counting efficiency and calculation of uncertainty variables. From this calculation, it can be seen how much influence each component and variable of the correction factor for the saturation activity calculation on the results of neutron flux measurements in the TRIGA 2000 reactor core.

Abstract

The National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) has a nuclear facility, one of which is the TRIGA 2000 research reactor. Radiation protection along with the emergency preparedness and response programs are essentials to be carried out in the nuclear reactor and its surrounding area. These programs require several types of devices to detect and measure radiation. The aim of this study is to obtain the effectiveness of the early warning system that has been developed for radiological emergency preparedness in the TRIGA 2000 reactor site. A Geiger Muller (GM) counter based on the ATMega 328 microcontroller was created for dose rate measurement and an ESP8266 module to send the results to the server. Javascript programming was created to send notifications to smartphones when the measured dose rate exceeds a certain dose rate. Comparison of the dose rate from the GM counter measurement and the data stored on the server showed a small error. This early warning system can also provide notifications to smartphones when the measured dose rate exceeds the threshold. Based on the test results, it can be concluded that the early warning system performed functions effectively to support the radiation protection program in the TRIGA 2000 reactor site.
